Step into a world where fables and myths celebrate queer community, friendship and pleasure: a manifesto for survival for the marginalised everywhere.

Based on the 1977 cult book by Larry Mitchell and Ned Asta, is a music theatre piece that reimagines the history of the world through a queer lens.

In this musical adaptation by composer Philip Venables and director Ted Huffman, the original text is taken on a kaleidoscopic journey by a cast of actors, singers and musicians.

Together they conjure up a world on the brink of revolution – expect battle re-enactments crossed with cheerleading, all night raves mixed with lute songs and court dances.

The result is a joyful celebration of queer experience that's both vulnerable and provocative. A space where deeply personal stories are shared and soothed through community.

Radical and playful, brings together theatre, dance and song for the ultimate anarchic bedtime story.

Photography and Art Direction: Damien Frost
